I just reviewed the 6 stages of MLC again - something I thought I would never have to do - and I swear he went thruough all of the stages. And it did happen almost exactly as described, but maybe his injury, surgery, forced retirement, which began practically the day after he came back to me, has spun him into a never-ending MLC loop.

Or maybe I'm delusional and he just wants out. I think that he never has dealt with his issues, which appear to be centered around not being able to deal with any kind of conflict and anyone who doesn't act perfectly happy all of the time. That's why he says he left, because I'm not happy (he said) and he can't deal with it (and I interpret).

Got to get focused on work now. Let's leave H to stew for a while.
